Companies must secure their entire attack surface from rapidly evolving threats
Global conflicts aren’t just political, they’re a cybersecurity concern. At the start of the Iran war, Akamai detected significant increases in malicious traffic (245%), API incidents (300%), and bots targeting public infrastructure. In May, Akamai blocked a DDoS attack with a peak of 45 million packets originating from Iran. In recent months, cyberattacks have evolved into more targeted attacks based on earlier reconnaissance efforts.
